Prep roundup,, Jan. 16: Bluffton wrestlers upset Fort Dorchester

Bluffton 39, Fort Dorchester 30: Bluffton High School's chances at one of the program's biggest victories rested on Buddy Drew.

The Bobcats' 126-pounder, wrestling the final bout of the night and his team up only three, fought off his back much of the first period before closing the match with a pin in the second. The dramatic victory over No. 9 Fort Dorchester lifted Bluffton to 2-1 in Region 8-AAAA and in good shape for one of the region's four playoff spots.

"It's probably one of -- if not the biggest -- win here at Bluffton," Bobcats coach John Hollman said. "Big win over a good, quality opponent. The place went crazy."
